personally if i was spending 350+ on a graphics card i would want reliable and easy warranty (gigabyte and kfa have uk warranty base)

There is a fella over at the AVForums Classifieds selling brand new two EVGA GTX 570's for £350.

I was very tempted myself, but I can't keep spending money on this PC, my obsession some times gets the better of me, not this time though!

Wait until OCUK start up their own Overclockers credit card.

Well there are a few Refurbished 5970's on offer for £299 (looks like a nice price drop!)

Do bare in mind that buying hardware from private seller would probably mean no warranty, as the warranty is usually only valid between the first buyer and the retailer/manufacturer, and is untransferrable.

What's the deal with the refurbished B stock? Is there any warranty on them?

30 days with OCUK and the rest whatever is offered by manufacturer iirc. I'd avoid dual card solutions as your budget allows for a powerful card. Personally if I had £365 burning a hole and wanted a GPU I'd buy a HD6970 and (spend the rest on beer and cheap hookers) save the rest or hold off until I could get a 580 3GB

sounds temping but dont have the money at the mo.

With EVGA the warranty is transferable, they would need to be registered via serial number on their website, which obviously they haven't been done as they were brand new, so therefore warranty is fine.

I've purchased many second hand products and not a problem with warranty, nothing has ever gone wrong mind you, touch wood.

I go for products where the warranty is transferable, and done by serial numbers.

EVGA warranty is non transferable...

Yeah your right, I was thinking of MSI.

My mistake.
